This suicide myth is just not true. Yeasr ago I went to a lot of trouble trying to find the original research that everybody quotes. I found that in one state in the USA, some time in the fifties, one study showed that compared to other professionals dentists were top of the pile for suicide. This study only looked at professionals and not people such as unemployed young males who have a much greater propensity for suicide.


The whole suicide myth is a classic case of people quoting other people who are quoting other people who are quoting other people.

And anyway a recent Australian study (once again only of professionals ) showed accountants to be 'most likely to kill themselves.'
